“I don’t believe that officers need to necessarily have weapons every time they’re making a traffic stop,” Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, Mayor Mike Elliott said during a press conference Tuesday in response to the shooting death of Daunte Wright on Sunday.

Cops without guns doing urban policing? What could possibly go wrong?

40-years ago, Escape From New York was a fantastical dystopian adventure.

Today, it's looking more and more like an uncomfortably prescient peak into America's foreseeable future.

At the current trajectory, Mad Max doesn't' seem all that far-fetched.

Actually....Defund every single one of them. If the Mayor wants Mad Max Anarchy, let him have it. It won’t end good for the bad guys. I can promise him that.

The level of stupidity and incompetence on the part of elected representatives is astonishing. And just when you thought they couldn’t get any more stupid or incompetent, Mayor Miller steps up and says...hold my beer, watch this.

The one human being that actually and FINALLY showed a level of intelligence and competence, deserving of the position he was elected to fill, was run out on a rail.

Donald Trump was, IMHO(I was a little too young during the Reagan years), the only person capable of doing that job. And he showed it til the very end. And one of the best, and often unidentified, things I think he did was allow Governors and Mayors to do their jobs. And most of the time, fail miserably.

In Cuomo’s case, fail criminally. Interesting we don’t hear much about him, huh? Everyone seems to have forgotten about that murderer.

All through last spring and summer when the country was on fire, he offered help to all of them. He was turned down. His response....Okay. I offered. Good luck with that.

Every time he intervened and helped out, the problem was solved.

Amazing he we have to vote for.

Really the mayor has a point, I believe the cops should only be armed when they’ve got a guy who has outstanding warrants involving armed robbery who has missed court dates and who is (looking into the future now) going to resist arr-

Uh, never mind...
